I used to feel your pride. 

I felt like your prodigal son. 

Now, I am unsure if I can return home. 

My sins are unknown to me. 

Did I fail you? 

Do I mock you with my presence? 

Did I commit the greatest sin of all and disappoint? 

The silence hangs over me like a shadow. 

Words unsaid box my mind like a prizefighter. 

Phone calls never made compel me to fill the void. 

Did I go too far? 

Is the distance to blame? 

Did I commit the greatest sin of all and disappoint? 

Now, I lie in wait.

Wondering if I should be the bigger man and make the first move. 

You may be oblivious to the pain. 

Do you miss my voice? 

Do you long for my stories? 

Did I commit the greatest sin of all and disappoint? 

Thanks for entering my world, 

-Nathan
